Prepping for Christmas

Started putting up lights around the outside of the house. Both spruce trees (front and back yard) are lit, the little dwarf whatever's to either side of the front entry are lit for maybe the first time, and the garden fence and arch on the north side are lit.

I still need to put garland and lights around the front porch area (not to mention clean all the leaves and spider webs that have accumulated in the last month and a half), plus have Brett help me do icicle lights and wreath.  Not sure when we'll get the tree up and decorated.

I was pleasantly surprised to find maybe another ten partially filled bags of leaves from a neighbor when I went out to put up the lights - I figured the leaves were all done already.
